Leaves falling and browning

#ZebraPlant what’s the reason that the leaves are browning and falling. There are new leaves growing too.
If you miss a watering by even a day, it will drop a lower leaf. This is all dependent on your substrate and environmental conditions (how fast your soil dries out; and more light means more water needs for the plant).
@ToughChangunga The smallall new leaves indicate a fertilizer deficiency. Do you fertilize it regularly ? Everything you dealing with indicates it’s not getting enough nutrients.
@ILoveMyPlants what fertilizer should be the best?
@ToughChangunga I use Super Thrive it actually plant vitamins. But most liquid fertilizer is good and can be used with each watering . Check out Amazon I know they have many but Super thrive is one of the best. I also use We The Wild which is worm castings. I actually forgot to use We The Wild liquid over the summer and got no blooms on the ones that had them when using. We The Wild is a web store and they always have deals.
@ToughChangunga I use #HappHappyHouseplantFood and very happy with results.
Thanks. I have already ordered Super Thrive from Amazon. Will be delivered tomorrow morning.
@ToughChangunga Just be careful not to overdo it . I typically use a teaspoon per gallon of water. You’ll also want to stop using if your in a climate that gets cold and the plants go dormant . Unless you have grow lights then you can feed all year round .
